Wanted: Volunteers to make OS4 and MOS hardware entries for Big Book of Amiga Hardware

Hi guys!

I`ve just recently noticed that there are no  Eyetech Amiga One / Acube SAMs / A-EON X1000
in big book of Amiga HW (great website) Also,  Pegs and Efikas deserve entry too

Its purely hardware, needs hi-res pics, see the style
http://www.bigbookofamigahardware.com/bboah/CategoryList.aspx?id=1

All properly formatted pics and info should be sent to info@bigbookofamigahardware.com

These machines aren't Amigas therefore they should not be on the BBOAH.

@vox

whats the use of it? can you stop stupid actionism? you start to behave as if amiga were your sole property. have you even asked anybody if your idea be appreciated? bet not.

These used Commodity Hardware so, there seems little point adding them to the database...

At least Draco due to AHI/RTG even with 060 falls out that narrow definition. At some point of time
we all started to use commodity RAM, sound and gfx cards, expansion ports, hard drives, out of
Commodore standard, especially when it died. And it was kind of normalization, to leave
some times weird sometimes good Apple/Mac/CBM standards. And happened to all.

There is Minimig, and author accepts these as valid entries, no matter what is your opinion of these boards.

Call it sacrilege, but it will be done. Even PPC Macs if MOS users demand so :-)

Wiki does so

AMIGA is also machine running AmigaOS, not just chipset based computer with 68k named AMIGA.

Nobody would.

No it isn't. A PPC motherboard running "AmigaOS" is an AmigaOne not an Amiga. This was clearly laid out and accepted as fact by both parties in the Amiga Inc vs Hyperion trial yet you don't accept it.  Why?

An Amiga is a computer based around a 68k CPU and OCS/ECS/AGA chipset manufactured by CBM or Escom.

One of my closest and dearest friends is one the OS4 developers and even he doesn't say that these PPC motherboards are Amigas.

funny so all the classics running PPC boards to use AmigaOS are no longer Amigas:angry:

Read my post more carefully.

Step 1, get rid of .NET
Step 2, ??
Step 3, world domination.

Any way, if I can help in any way, then I will do so.

I rephrase the exponation: AmigaOne boards, Efika, Pegasos ... even being common PPC blah blah hardware deserve an entry in Amiga history, simply because they are part of it. Even they should not be litterally called AMIGA but EFIKA and PEGASOS as well as Samanthas ...

Under same criteria Minimig should be out. Or Draco.

SImilar list is already part of Amiga History, herby would be kindly asked if users do have this hardware to provide hi res images
and update a bit big book with more recent developments.

It sadly does have only a company pages, not concept one realated as AmigaHistory that causes such resistance.

@Vox,

Hi,

If that is the case then you would have to also allow all intel machines running Amiga Forever, it runs the Amiga OS, and even has the original roms and also I would say is more Amiga then anything else out there. It just uses more modern equipment then say an out dated ppc chip, or a slow chip like what is in minimig. The only thing is it can not run OS4 yet but I bet if the programmers really worked at it , they can get it to.

No, I say lets leave the Amiga database for the real Amiga's only. We should start another database for the emulators that are out there.

This should probably be a separate project simply to avoid confusion. A "Big Book of OS4 Hardware" wouldn't leave people who just want to find out about classic Amiga options trying to sift out all the OS4-only stuff.

Your right, I will submit my entry and when have time and proper images of all mentioned boards. Surely, there will be no other such big website.

There is everything Classic exhausted to details, but no matter mention of later developments. And its just few boards. Its right of people not to participate. ACube is already a listed company, why not having Genesi , Eyetech and A-EON?

Amiga Forever is software emulator, UAE based. Emulation doesn`t count in.

[nicholas]

So are you going to include every Intel, AMD and VIA CPU/motherboard combination that AROS runs on in this new dream of yours?

Raspberry Pi too?

How about every Android phone and tablet that AROS also happens to run on?

I applaud your efforts and would be happy to provide AmigaOne X1000 shots for you.
